minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·3 months agoThe US making a big deal out of him, and then broadcasting when they killed him was big. He’s tied closely (even post-mortem) to the US military-industrial complex and the questionable yet not completely discountable propaganda about him. Southpark put him in a Popular TV show in their heyday and put him in movies.
